EasyJet To Test 9-Passenger Electric Airplane In 2019 | CleanTechnica

EasyJet, the low cost airline serving Europe and the UK, is working with US startup Wright Electric to build an electric airplane that can carry passengers on the short hops its business model is based on. “Electric flying is becoming a reality and we can now foresee a future that is not exclusively dependent on jet fuel,” easyJet CEO tells Quartz. The two companies intend to begin testing a 9-passenger electric airplane in 2019.
